CITY COUNCIL TAKES
AT Ol
BUT THE SMALL SUM OF 1
OUT FOR SCHOO
Last Friday night was the time f or
the regular Council meeting, but
orly a bare quorum responded to
roll call. They were the president,
B. F. Wolfe, and Messrs. W. L.
Jones, R. L. Spencer and Galba
Vaiden. Everything was pleasant
till two rocks were encounted, the
one being a request for a small ap?
propriation for laboratory apparatus
at Nicholson High School and the
other a bill for repairs to the palatial
home of the now tamous and much
discussed and otherwise cussed Peter
Bsoth. Neither question was big,
but each caused s rumpus.
President Wolfe called for reports
of committees, none of which re?
sponded in detail. Mr. Spencer for
streets said "good," Mr. Wolfe for
health ditto, and Mr. VaideL for the
poor said the old jail repairs had
been made and the inevitable irre?
pressible "Peter" was at least neither
freezing nor starving.
The quarterly report of the auditor
was read and ordered published,
Superintendent Holmes of the gas
department reported that Capt. Lane
had refused to pay his gas bill, be
cause there was something wrong
with the meter. Reterred to th<
light committee with power to act.
Repairs to the old city jail havinj
been made. Mr. Jones presented thi
bill of the carpenter. It was ascer
tained that this work, together witl
material, had cost nearly $12. Om
bill showed that 47 panes of glas
had been bought, also seven pour d
of putty. Mr. Vaiden said tha
they may have been bought bu
that that number of panes had nev*:
been used at the jail. Then ther
was complaint about the work-mar
ship of the steps. Mr. Jones, wh
had the repairs in charge, whe
asked if he had inspected the wor
replied that he had not and that h
would not do so. "If you want re
to inspect work of this kind, tr
council must pay me," was h
statement. He had endorsed xl
bill as correct and the council seeme
to think that it was his duty to s<
that work was done properly that
was correct. The committse w
asked to look into the matter ai

loud talk and a little show of feeho
A petition, signed by a numb

Principal Young of the Hi
School asked the council to app

and expressed their hope that
appropriation be made Mr. S.
^Graham, of the school board, \
urged thc appropriation.
Mr. Spencer then offered a n
lutioa appropriating $100 for
purpose mentioned. Speaking

After some further discussion, a

Those members and citizens who
meant tnat the Williamsburg schools
should not be harnoered for the
